39-20 - It’s a walk-off! Rangers outlast Cardinals 4-3
Jerome Miron-USA TODAY Sports Sending a lot of Cardinals fans home unhappy The Texas Rangers scored four runs while the St. Louis Cardinals scored three runs. I guess the bullpen just wanted to make things exciting so we’d get to witness one of these walk-off celebrations that we’ve heard so much about as the Rangers have busied themselves with blowing everyone out in the meantime. Player of the Game: Martin Perez was dreadful in May one year after he won the league’s Pitcher of the Month award in that season’s second month. This year, in May, Perez sported a...

Thoughts on a 10-6 Rangers win
Tim Fuller-USA TODAY Sports Rangers 10, Tigers 6 Rangers 10, Tigers 6 Welcome to the Show, Grant Anderson. That was quite a major league debut for the unheralded righthanded reliever who was with the Round Rock Express just a few days ago. Asked to bail out Martin Perez, who struggled with his command all game and was pulled with two outs in the fifth and six runs in, Grant Anderson came up huge. With the tying run on second, Anderson fell behind 2-0 to pinch hitter Zach McKinstry before coming back and striking him out swinging on a 3-2 pitch. Rally quashed. That...

35-19 - Anderson to the rescue! Rangers stave off Tigers 10-6
Photo by Ben Ludeman/Texas Rangers/ Welcome, Mr. Anderson The Texas Rangers scored a girthy ten runs while the Detroit Tigers plated a mere six runs. Where has Grant Anderson been all our lives? I love a funky sidewinding reliever. The Rangers squads that turned the corner in the turn of a decade ago had Darren O’Day and then Yoshinori Tateyama as early-season bullpen saviors. Enter Anderson in an everything-but-the-bullpen 2023 to display a revelatory evening of much-needed relief in his debut tonight. The Rangers needed that relief as Martin Perez produced a dud...

27-17 - Rangers cruise to 7-2 series-opening win over Colorado
Photo by Richard Rodriguez/ The peagle is sated for now The Texas Rangers scored seven runs while the Colorado Rockies scored two runs. One way to high leverage bullpen-proof your baseball games is to just score a bunch of runs and have the starter go deep in the game. That’s what Texas accomplished tonight as they scored five runs in the 4th and two more in the 5th while Martin Perez bounced back from a troublesome pair of outings on the West Coast with seven innings of two-run ball on seven hits with zero walks and seven strikeouts. For a minute there, it didn’t...

20-13 - Rangers refuse to share, trounce Anaheim 16-8 in finale
Gina Ferazzi / Los Angeles Times via 16 runs is a fine way to put the bullpen blues to bed The Texas Rangers scored sixteen runs while the Los Angeles Angels scored eight runs. Today wasn’t reliable Martin Perez’s day on the mound as the 2022 All-Star pitcher allowed seven runs on eight hits and three walks in just 3 2⁄3 innings. The early exit broke a long streak of at least finishing five innings for Perez. With the Texas starter leaving 6 1⁄3 innings to the maligned Rangers bullpen, the bats would have to step up again. 16 runs’ll do it. After another big...
